HPC is here supports the evolution of the dialog regarding Haïtian Culture begins with our transformation of the narrative from one of “need” into one of “dignity.” Practical application of this idea begins with giving within the community. It is easier to foster meaningful support within our community rather than reflexively looking outward to our non-Haïtian neighbors for validation and financial support.

We, the people, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.
